I was actually in the first patrol of a new career. with the difficulty set to "Realistic" and 75%. I don't use manual targeting or event camera, I do turn on the external camera, and I don't use the stabilized view. I feel that the career mode gives the most exposure to the variables one will encounter, especially in looking for "flaws". I used both a zoom and "normal" view in attempting the target id; sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't, but my anecdotal evidence is probably not worth much based on my most recent experience.

In my second patrol yesterday afternoon, I had much more success with the auto targeting function. For whatever reason, it let me find and identify targets at virtually all attempted ranges, including some much longer than I would have expected, and some where ships, although pretty close, were barely emerging from a fog bank. I'm going to stop bitching about it and declare it closed from my perspective. Probably not worth wasting your time on it.
